Walmart Offers Free Opioid Disposal Product

18/01/2018

In a statement released today, Walmart is doing its part to combat the rampant opioid crisis in America by offering a free product at its pharmacies that safely dispose of leftover prescription medication.

When mixed with warm water and added to a pill bottle, DisposeRX works to convert the leftover meds into a biodegradable gel, which then hardens and is easily discarded.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc.is providing an innovative free opioid disposal solution at Walmart and Sam's Club pharmacies across the United States.

Walmart's offer of free DisposeRX is just the latest in a series of efforts by pharmacies to reduce the risk that opioids will be diverted from their appropriate use as painkillers and abused by either the original customer or another person. Existing pharmacy patients can also request a free DisposeRx packet at any time, including at the upcoming Walmart Wellness Day event scheduled for January 20 from 10 a.m.to 2 p.m. all Walmart locations nationwide.

Walmart is not alone in trying to address the opioid epidemic. "Too frequently, those harmful narcotics stay un-secured where children, visitors or teens may have access", Arkansas Senator John Boozman said in an announcement.

In 2016, at least 1,901 people died from opioid overdoses in N.J. The company supports legislation imposing a seven-day supply limit for initial prescriptions for acute pain and the requirement that all controlled-substance prescriptions be issued electronically, in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration.
